A sad story, hopefully with a positive ending

We’ve a desperately sad story to bring you this evening as former Hull City defender Brian Lenihan reveals mental health forced his retirement from football at the age of 23 following a suicide attempt in December.

MacDonald on the comeback trail

Pre-season training gets underway for City on Monday but that doesn’t mean Angus MacDonald has been enjoying the last week of his summer.

The central defender has been out with a dislocated shoulder but is hopeful of playing a big role in the coming weeks after stepping up his rehab in La Manga.

Myhill on the move

A bit of news from the West Midlands where former Hull City keeper Boaz Myhill has been released by West Brom following their relegation from the Premier League last month. Anyone fancy a reunion?

Not long until fixtures day

Another day, another winger linked

Yesterday it was all about Jordan Jones but today’s winger touted for a move to the KCOM Stadium is Marvin Johnson.

The Middlesbrough man is reportedly a target for the Tigers after falling badly out of favour under Tony Pulis. Both Ipswich and Birmingham are also said to be interested.

City certainly have history with Johnson. A £1m bid failed to lure the 27-year-old from Oxford 12 months ago.

Scunthorpe United reject Bristol City's offer for Hull City target

Bristol City have had an offer for Hull City target Hakeeb Adelakun rejected by Scunthorpe United, according to Sky Sports.

The proposal is in the form of compensation for the out-of-contract winger, with Scunthorpe having signed him as a 16-year-old and due some money before his expected departure.

Now aged 22 and having bagged five goals and 14 assists last season in League One, Adelakun has earned interest from the Tigers, Nottingham Forest and Bristol City. Scunthorpe originally wanted to retain his services but he turned down a new contract last month.

Hull City punished for their contract hesitancy as exodus hurts Nigel Adkins

When Hull City announced their retained list a month ago, the top line of the club’s statement was that four senior players had all been offered new contracts for 2018-19.

David Meyler was released to pave the way for his subsequent move to Reading but Abel Hernandez, Seb Larsson, Moses Odubajo and Max Clark were each handed the opportunity to stay. City were not giving up hope of retaining Michael Dawson either, holding ongoing talks over the captain’s future.

The message was a defiant one but any attempts to retain key assets have quickly fallen short.

As well as seeing Dawson join Nottingham Forest and Larsson head for AIK, Hernandez and Odubajo have made it clear they will not be signing the contracts offered. The only doubt left surrounds Clark but the length of deliberation points ominously towards another departure.

What Adkins said on Jones before

Hull City were linked with Jordan Jones back in January, and here’s what Nigel Adkins said back on December 28.

We’ve not shown any interest in the lad from Kilmarnock

A new name on the radar

Well, a new name for this transfer window, but having been linked last January with Kilmarnock and Northern Ireland winger Jordan Jones, the Tigers are once again being linked.

Reports suggest City are preparing an offer for the winger.

There’s more on this below.

Good morning

It’s just five days now until the start of pre-season training and Nigel Adkins’ plans to get his squad together before everyone reported back are not exactly coming to fruition.

We’re still waiting for the first signing of the summer and while the Eric Lichaj deal from Nottingham Forest had looked set to be concluded by now, there’s still been no announcement. Will today bring that expected confirmation?
